Mashaun Hirschler
Mashaun had a very difficult childhood. He was exposed to the streets and to drugs from his earliest memories. He spent junior high and high school bouncing around the foster system in Texas, and ended up entering into street life in his teens, where he found welcome and success among the addicts, dealers, and homeless communities. By his late 20s he had been to prison 4 times for various drug and theft related charges.
He had been on a sincere journey of faith through his life, and spent some significant adult years seeking God through Islam. However, in 2018 Jesus Christ changed everything. Mashaun had a personal encounter with Christ and felt his touch and heard his voice…
He has been seeking to introduce others to Christ ever since. That they might know the power and healing and forgiveness that he gives. In fact, he has been called to go back to serve and love the very communities of addicts, dealers, and homeless that he spent much of his life among. He married his wife, Brandi, in 2020 and she has played a significant role in Mashaun’s journey. Check out www.THUGGINforChrist.com for more info on Mashaun’s life and ministry work.
